RECIPIENT ACCESS

USSD delivery. Reaches every phone on the continent

USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) works by dialling a short code — like *384*1234# — on any mobile phone. No internet connection, no smartphone, no app. Just a SIM card. It is the single most inclusive redemption channel in Africa.

RECIPIENT JOURNEY

A clear path from notification to reward.

01

Recipient receives notification

An SMS tells them their reward value and the USSD code to dial.

02

Dial the short code

Recipient dials the configured USSD code on any phone — feature phone, smartphone, or basic handset.

03

Navigate the menu

A simple numeric menu guides them: view balance, choose category, confirm redemption.

04

Confirmation

SMS confirmation sent on successful redemption. No internet required at any point.

PROGRAMME FIT

Use USSD as part of the right reward journey.
